The Refrigerator: Before

This is my fridge confession...it's pretty bad

BUT I'm preparing and that means a decent clean out 

Someone tell me that everyone's fridge gets like this...

I'm taking my fridge organisation plan from "The Organised Housewife"

And for some more Refrigerator Spying take a look over at "Black Eiffel "

Making Plans

I decided to get right on the prep...by doing the most relaxing easiest task:

Choosing and writing out the recipes and making a shopping list.

The fridge can wait for tomorrow...

The Premise.

Over a year ago, inspired by my mother-in-law I went out and bought a recipes box and cards. I had grand plans to write down all of my recipes and gradually accumulate a beautiful handwritten collection.

So far I have three.

For the next six months (beginning the December 4th 2011 and ending May 4th 2012) , every week I plan to make and more importantly write down 5 recipes that pass through my kitchen. I figure with dinners, desserts, baking, having friends over and cooking for my enormous family it should be achievable.

On May 5th 2012 I should have accumulate 130 new recipes to add to my currently pretty poor effort of a recipe box.

My favourite places for recipes and inspiration:

'COOK': written by The Australian Womens' Weekly

Tasty Kitchen: www.tastykitchen.com

Taste: www.taste.com.au

Joy The Baker: www.joythebaker.com

Smitten Kitchen (my first food blog love!) www.smittenkitchen.com

theBerry (not many recipes here but tonnes of visual inspiration) www.theberry.com

I'm sure over the next few months I will need to add a significant amount of others to that list but this is my starting point. I have just over a week to get things in order (cleaning out the fridge ahem) and then it starts.
